It's not Worf fault she told him about Alexander so close to her death. Was he supposed to pay up immediately?

"Hey, you knocked me up 10 years ago and I consciously chose not to tell you until now. Give me 10 years worth of child support before I die in 2 months. Also the kid is now your burden responsibility"

"Deadbeat Protocol Alpha" is a nice touch

What does post scarcity child support look like? A replicator, some power banks, and a few stem bolts?

Maybe they've gotten really spoiled by technology and have to divide up the "labor" of asking the replicator to make things for the kid.

I'll bet anything that Worf is a secret Sovereign Citizen. They're all trying to skip out on child support.

24th century child support is literally just emotional support of your child. Taking them to holodeck baseball games, playing holo-catch, hanging their art up on the replicator control panel, that sort of thing.

If there's a problem that can't be solved with self-sealing stem bolts, I've not found it.

Can't pay child support if your employer doesn't pay you.

Child support = being a supportive father

If anyone was a deadbeat parent, it was her. (Especially after she died. )

Explain why no payments while he was on Deep Space 9. They explain in the first or second episode that Starfleet stationed there get a daily stipend of a few strips/slips (can't remember which) of latinum. That's how they are able to eat at Quark's. He isn't giving shit away for free.

I like to imagine it would be like when you give a kid a little kitchen playset or a toy cash register (do they still make those?). All the Starfleet people going around like "ooh, look, money tokens, how quaint. After our shift let's go do a capitalism, lol."

Downvote for AI on principle, even if the office space reference is appropriate.
